Video Production and Post-Production




Okay, I've shot and edited a lot of stuff these last decades। The Film formats were;Super 8mm, 16mm and 35mm, and the Video formats include 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, 1-inch, Betacam, High-8, DVCAM and DVC-PRO. I am currently training on the Red One camera.

I've edited motion picture film on Moviola 16 and 35mm uprights and flatbeds, a variety of off and online linear systems and of course Non-linear editing systems including Avid and Final Cut Pro. These days I primarily use Final Cut Pro along with LiveType and Soundtrack Pro.

Federal Crime Scene

Mo'Slim
"Federal Crime Scene"

-Music Video-
2009

In the summer of 2008 Mo'Slim played his new song entitled "Federal Crime Scene" for me. I hadn't done anything in a while and I was looking to something more challenging than what I've been doing lately, yet within the scope of the limited resources that were available to me. We scouted locations and were fortunate enough to find a great group of kids and "Bad Guys". We shot this Music Video commando style and everyone was pleased with the result. The song deals with the 9-11 Attacks and the plight of the Palestinians and given the never ending tensions in the middle-east is sure to ignite some controversy. Enjoy.

VOICE OVER WORK


Paula Gloria is a good friend of mine. We met while doing shows here at Manhattan Neighborhood Network here in New York City. I stumbled into doing some of her shows about 9-11. Her show is entitled "Farther Down the Rabbit Hole".


Her show soon exploded on the Internet and pretty soon got the attention of Howard Stern and his Staff over at Sirius Satellite Radio. After some telephone/e-mail tag they called her in and gave her a few shows. The show was given the title of "TOTAL PENETRATION". There was a publicity campaign for for the show. We did some recording sessions at their Rockefeller Center Studios. The Session was unscripted. I came up with an idea right off the top of my head and the Producers went with it. The final result was a feat of audio genius.


"TOTAL PENETRATION" was extremely popular during its brief run on the Sirius Network.
I don't know why it was never picked up on a permanent basis.

Brazilian Bikinis

“Exotica New York”
Brazilian Fashions
2003

BACKSTORY:
These are excerpts from my girlfriend's television show entitled "Exotica New York". The program features Brazilian cultural and entertainment events in New York City. The program airs on the Manhattan Neighborhood Network.

The show was originally shot at MNN's studio, but during the show there was a problem, someone forgot to roll the videotape - as a result the best part of the show - the Brazilian swimsuit models - was not recorded!

Guess who had to come in and re-shoot the show? The swimsuit and jewelry segments were shot in the apartment of the designer, on a high floor of a building overlooking the Westside of Manhattan on a chilly winter’s Sunday afternoon. The original models were not available so a replacement was quickly brought in. The model was a teenager from Brazil by the name of Anna.

What I liked most about that shoot was the light. The windows of her apartment faced west and we were blessed with a beautiful golden afternoon light that even carries over to the encoded video clip. Everything worked perfectly and we got everything shot before we lost the light. My girlfriend and I packed up the gear and were home in time for dinner. Guess who had to cook?
